Media personality Azeezah Wanjiru Hashim has a radio voice that awes her fans and listeners. However, the radio siren has revealed that growing up, she didn’t like her voice.
Speaking during Mc Jessy’s show, Azeezah revealed that her special voice amuses many people.
Back in high school, the radio presenter used her voice to command respect.
“I’ve always had this voice, but it’s something I avoided for a long time. I’ve always been a natural leader, and I think God knew the kind of personality He gave me, so he added this voice to enhance that leadership.”
Azeezah asserted that even after trying to make her voice sound more feminine, nothing seemed to work out.
“My aunt would tell me, ‘Just speak with that deep voice you have.’ I felt so bad about it. I never felt like the other girls, especially since I was also a tomboy.
“My walking style was boyish. This makeup you see now is recent. Nilikuwa boyz mbaya. I wasn’t loud, but I was authoritative. I even used my voice to bully people sometimes.
Azeezah’s voice has become a gift and has landed her numerous opportunities in the media as well as side gigs.
“I never imagined I would end up loving it. I used to hate it. In a group of girls, I wanted to be like everyone else. But I was the odd one out because I was a tomboy and not soft. It messed with my confidence. But looking back, I realize my teachers might have seen something in me when I used to read aloud in class.”
Azeezah’s voice also lowered her self esteem when she auditioned for radio. Later she realized she didn’t have the ” girly” voice she desired.
“All the girls in media had nice, cute voices, and then there was me, matching voices with Jeff Koinange.
“I didn’t like it at all, so when people complimented me, I would think, ‘What are they seeing?’”
